I would also like to thank UBS. Through the faithful donation of paper to TSPM/CCC and printing machines to Amity, UBS has contributed to the success of the publishing and printing of Bibles in China.— Rev. Dr. Gao Ying, President of Yanjing Theological Seminary. Former Vice-President of NJUTS., http://www.ubscp.org/gaoying1/

I hope that UBS donors would continue to be concerned about the Church, the believers and the Bible ministry in China. Although China’s overall economy is growing and the Church is expanding, we have not yet arrived and there are still many poor people who need Bibles.— Elder Fu Xianwei, Chairman of National Committee of TSPM, http://www.ubscp.org/fuxianwei/

UBS is always willing to serve and work with the Church based on China’s needs.....I have come across many overseas Christian organizations and I think that many should follow UBS’s partnership model with the Church in China.— Elder Fu Xianwei, Chairman of National Committee of TSPM, http://www.ubscp.org/fuxianwei/

Some people wonder why the Protestant church in China is growing faster than the Catholic Church. I suspect the reason behind the Protestant Church growth is because she puts more emphasis on reading the Bible.— Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian, http://www.ubscp.org/bishop-jin-luxian/

It was the United Bible Societies (UBS) who encouraged us to read the Bible more often and even urged us to organize Bible classes.— Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian, http://www.ubscp.org/bishop-jin-luxian/

YUNNAN, China – After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Amen. (Rev. 7:9-10)

YUNNAN, China -- Shang Yuehan, 22, is a Christian from the Jingpo tribe in Yingjiang County, Yunnan. He was one of the recipients of the Jingpo Bible at a Bible distribution where 300 people attended.

“This is my first Jingpo Bible. I’ve been reading the Bible in Chinese. Now I can read it in my own language. I am so grateful to God and United Bible Societies for bringing the Bible to us,” shared Shang who serves as an accountant in Xi An Church since two years ago.

HEBEI, China – In another year’s time, Yan Zhibin, a lanky 18 year-old, will be enrolled in a seminary in his province. Currently an Electrical Engineering student at a technical school, he said this is a risk he is taking with God- a leap of faith. It turns out that this is not the first, but the result of a series of ‘leaps of faith’ he has been taking with God.

The First Leap

Zhibin comes from Baoding, a city in Hebei province, a three hours’ drive from Beijing. Coming from a family of four, he lives with his parents and a younger brother. Though a third generation Christian, he did not attend church regularly and did not understand much about his faith.
